Mr. Speaker. this bill is muchneeded legislation for the reason that the committee has not been able to bring out an entire naturalization bill. The present law provides that if an alien moves from one State to another lie may prove his residence by witnesses who have known him who may make depositions. but if he moves from one part of the State to another part of a State. he can not use depositions. In a State the size of the State of Minnesota. a candidate for citizenship might leave one section and move to another many miles away and never be able to find two men who had known him continuously for five years.
